Not a peep really. Makes you wonder what's up there.

The Jets' RFA's after this year.
I'll just say this.... Stafford could be traded at the deadline... Perreault could be... trading buff frees up cap space... they could possibly move pav.. maybe to the minors even or buy him out... Hutch might be gonzo and helle takes his place... Scheif Lowry and trouba are rfa with no arbitration rights.. they could all sign short term deals at lower money... rookies will come in and they will be on their ELC deals still. No need to even worry about this stuff until the time comes really. Lots can and will happen. Maybe Quebec and Vegas get expansion teams and take a couple guys off our hands. Few guys on 1 yr deals probably won't be signed again next year. Lots of space and time.

Open question for MBBers - direction of the franchise
The only guys on the BOD now who might have been here a long time now are Watchorn and Asper. The rest are pretty new. Not sure who to blame on the BOD but it might be the guy who was going off on a coach a few years back after a game we lost. Initials are DA. I'm pretty certain he's the guy that's been there the longest. The rest outside of Watchorn are pretty new. DA is the one guy who doesn't get replaced it seems. Why is that

Greaves traded
Chris Jones is like 18-6 or something vs the rest of the teams in the Cfl as coach but 0 for 4 or 6 vs Calgary. Stamps have his number

Taking a realistic look at the Bombers record in the last 24 seasons
Yeah, that was brave, and classy. O'Shea is finished AFAIC. What bothered you about that. We all knew it was MBS O.

NFL Cuts
Taman traded him to the Esks no. Lol. Brutal. Crazy deal. Henoc probably would get the same. Make it happen Kyle
-
Pat Tracy Fired
I think only Asper and Watchorn have been around for more than a couple years. Board has changed lots the last little while.
-
Greaves traded
It's too bad greaves got worse and not better. Good guy. Wish him luck in Edmonton but he wasn't very good this year or last year even

NFL Cuts
Picard probably cut this off season.
-
Greaves traded
Bc and Montreal aren't good either. Really one of those 3 teams will be playoff bound. We aren't out of it by a long shot and still play bc and Montreal once more. It ain't over

Toby basically is here until his contract runs out... or if he wants to be traded I think he can be. He won't be tho so people can stop thinking he will be. It's not happening
-
Greaves traded
Some irony seeing as Greaves was a DL in college
-
Greaves traded
Bryant Longo Picard Chungh Neufeld makes the most sense
-
Greaves traded

2015-2016 training camp
Well, The young guys are our future and so far... the young guys they have drafted and developed like Scheif,Trouba,Lowry for that matter have all looked good. Hopefully a couple others come in and continue the trend.

NAH... let's just do what we've been doing the last 25 years and see if that works... I mean really.... insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results yet lots of these posts i read suggest we do the same thing we've been doing the last 25 years cuz maybe this time it will work... but theres 25 years almost of proof that it doesn't work. INSANITY... Give MOS and Walters some time really... otherwise, you are just doing exactly what we've been doing the last 25 years... New coach comes in with new gm, blows it up, 2 years go by.. we suck, they get fired... new coach and gm come in and blows it up, 2 years later we suck.. fired and repeat... How don't people understand this? I mean really.. It's the same thing over and over and over and over and over........ Do we have some issues? for sure, have we solved some? for sure... We have a good QB who hopefully when MB is fired can stay healthy... our CDN talent seems improved... Our Import talent, lacking a bit but... watch the Moll youtube video to find out it takes a couple years for those guys to even agree to come up...

2015-2016 training camp
Well, for sure.. but if Scheif puts up 55 60 as #2 center, that's pretty damn impressive and honestly, i see no reason why he couldn't. It also really depends on your teams make up really... Like for example, would you rather have 1 50 goal scorer or maybe 3 30 goal scorers instead? Would you rather have 1 guy with 100 points in a season or maybe 2 with well over 100 combined. Really depends on your teams make up really. Would I like Ovechkin on the Jets and would i like it if he scored 50 for us? Yup, but... at the same time, I'm fine with a bunch of guys scoring 20 goals too.

Club adds International OL releases DL K Fraser, OL D Tyler
Hamilton is also a very very good team who will probably be in their 3rd grey cup in the last 3 years too. I think you need to look at teams like Montreal in terms of oline, basically bomben is a great example actually...They could trade him, why? because they have stockpiled oline over the years really... They have drafted and developed and waited for guys really... This was done over a very long time with the same GM in charge.

Cuz there were so many all star interior oline available in free agency

When do we start worrying about next year's cap? A conscientious GM is worrying about next year's cap right now not next year. TUP, If you don't think there is any reason to worry, jot down what players would be playing and at what cost. See for yourself. I enjoy Cap discussions, but I dont care enough about the minutia of dollars and cents to spend that much time on it, especially without Capgeek to help me! If I have some time this week, Ill try to predict... Isnt Pavs expired after next season? Thats another contract that could be expendable. Pretty much this. Don't care enough to even bother with it. It's not my concern. Hey Ducky, figure this one out for me k. Then maybe i'll trying a little prediction myself... since i just don't care enough to look this stuff up... Who are on 1 year deals and how much is that one year deal for? Ladd,Buff,Pardy,Postma,Harrison for sure,Hali,Fraser,Etc really... who else and how much is their contract worth Who will still be on their ELC next season (Morrissey,Ehlers,Petan,Copp,Lemiuex etc) Who has 2 year contracts or 2 years or less remaining on their contracts?

Chris Randle "Out for a While"
I think the Picard signing was based on bringing some vet presence to the oline, I think he was brought in also to help Goossen learn also, give him another year to learn behind a vet, a guy who was pretty decent really.... Perhaps they thought re-uniting him with his old oline coach Wylie would help him get better, it hasn't worked like that tho. Picard hasn't been good but... at the same time, I think Greaves and Neufeld as guards have been worse.

I'm not talking about Chevy, Yeah i'm sure he's looking at the cap for next year and the year after and etc... I'm talking about people like you who put together these make believe numbers that you think these guys will sign for... You really don't know. They could sign for less, they could sign for more... The cap is not my concern, it's not yours, it's not any of the fans concerns really, there is NOTHING we can do about it, all we can do is play make believe and that's what you are doing really.. Playing make believe, pretending you are the GM, pretending you have info about players and what they will or won't sign for. Like i said, who really knows and as a fan, who really cares about the cap a year from now, it's not my job to care about the cap really.. It's chevy's job to manage it and i'm sure he will... part of the reason they probably let frolik walk, part of the reason stafford only signed for 2 years... Like i said... Stafford among others could very well be moved at this year trade deadline, you just don't know.. and for every raise a scheif or trouba or lowry will get... well, an ELC will still be on the books like an ehlers, a petan, a morrissey, a copp, a lemieux etc. TUP said it best, other teams have guys making 8 9 10 million on their roster and a few of them at that and you are worrying about guys who might get 4 5 6 million
